Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it normal to have lower back pain at 4 months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
This is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy. There is no need to worry. The most fundamental change during pregnancy is the body's deformation. As the fetus develops and grows, the body's center of gravity gradually shifts forward, the pelvis gradually tilts forward, and this results in the pregnant woman's posture of a hunched back, sunken hips, and protruding buttocks. Due to the anterior convexity of the lumbar spine, the force naturally concentrates on the back of the lumbar spine, causing chronic damage and resulting in lower back pain. This is a common occurrence, known as "pregnancy-related lower back pain." Eat more fruits, vegetables, calcium supplements, pig trotters, fish, and other nutrient-rich foods.
